Re: Descendants of Early Quakers, etc.   I can also claim descent from two different Jackson families who were in Chester and Delaware Counties in Pennsylvania as early as 1685 (from Macclesfield, Cheshire County,England) and as late as 1725 (from Ballitore, County Kildare in Ireland). However, the last known Quaker in my line was probably born in Pennfield Colony in Nova Scotia in 1788. I too would be interested in any organizational details regarding such a Society.   --- On Fri, 4/3/09, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: QUAKER-ROOTS Digest, Vol 4, Issue 63 To: [email protected] Date: Friday, April 3, 2009, 3:01 AM Today's Topics:    1.
